NEC has recently announced the VR4400, running at 75MHz (compatible with the MIPS R4000). The price is currently 400,000 yen ($3,300), and is expected to drop to 200,000 yen ($1,650) next April, when the chip becomes available in quantity. Speed is not going to be cheap, at least not for a while. Andy Fyfe andy@cs.caltech.edu
